Gents Omega Seamaster De Ville Wristwatch, 1965

Gents Omega Seamaster De Ville wristwatch, 1965.

The watch has a calibre 671 24-jewel automatic movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 22,572,210 which dates it back to 1965.

The watch measures 31.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is gold capped which means a generous layer of 14k gold has been applied to the front and sides of the case and the bezel is solid 14k gold. It was said that the gold capping was so thick that it could hold its shape when not fitted to the case and apparently the salesman used to carry a sample of just the gold capping to demonstrate how strong it was.

The back of the watch has the raised Seamaster logo. The inside of the case back has the case reference 165.004 case reference which is correct for the calibre 671 movement.

Original signed Omega winding crown.

The lens has the tiny clear Omega logo to the centre.

The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands, centre seconds hand and outer minute markers. There is minor marking to the dial.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

NB: Where we have specified a year of manufacture, this is based on hallmarks or serial numbers with published databases. The 'date of manufacture' given by SellingAntiques will vary slightly as the website only works to decades, not specific years.
